Hi all.  Kathleen was following some links and ended up at the  
Wikipedia article on moonbows:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbow

Confusingly, it says:
> Few places in the world frequently feature this phenomenon.  
> Cumberland Falls[2], near Corbin, Kentucky, U.S.A. and Victoria  
> Falls on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe are widely known for  
> moonbow occurrence. Also Durham, North Carolina and Waimea on  
> Hawaii's Kauai Island.
>

Anybody have any idea where/why Durham?  I did the usual web  
searching, and all the references to moonbows in Durham are basically  
cut/pastes of the Wiki article.

Most confusing.
